Description

The Virtual MineMentor Program is designed to decrease attrition rates in post-secondary mining-related programs, matching post-secondary students with excellent mining industry workers. The virtual communication format removes the geographical barrier that traditionally impedes mentorship between these types of participants. Mentorship occurs by means of an on-line portal that incorporates instant messaging, blogging, email, and other virtual forms of MineMentor pairs and community interaction.

The Project Delivered:

• Participant Handbooks
• Online, Interactive, Program Portal
